Firearms: Imitation Weapons
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the threat posed by the continuing availability of ball-bearing guns closely resembling real weapons.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the misuse of imitation firearms is not to be tolerated. The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 banned the manufacture, import and sale of realistic imitation firearms, except for a few limited purposes, and made it an offence for anyone under 18 to buy or be sold any kind of imitation firearm.
